Norway's relationships with the United States and the Russian Federation in the light of new challenges on the northern flank of NATO
Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej - Year 2014, Vol 2014, Issue 96
Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyse the security policy of Norway, its priorities, conditions and threats against the rapidly changing international situation in the Euro-Atlantic area. The author raises the questions of what implications there are regarding Norway’s proximity to Russia and how Norwegian economic interests in the Arctic are determined by its considerations of security policy. An important issue is the role that Norway plays in US policy on the north flank of the Alliance. The starting point for the analysis of Norway's international position and its role in the area of security was the selection of Jens Stoltenberg as NATO Secretary General. The author assesses the Norwegian Arctic policy and indicates that the Arctic is and can be an even greater area of cooperation, competition and conflict. According to his opinion, the influence of Norway in international politics is also defined by its position as an exporter on the energy market and by Norway’s membership in the exclusive club of shoreline Arctic countries. The author concludes that Norway’s influence in NATO will continue to increase, primarily due to the increase in economic and political importance of the Arctic, mainly because of its common land border with Russia as well as its position as a NATO flank state.
